How can I pay for copies and prints?
Use the Repro Graphics card (copy/print/scan card)
- New Repro Graphics cards must be purchased for the new machines. These cards will be accepted in all library copiers/printers/scanner (multifunction) machines.
- Repro Graphics cards may be purchased from the wall mounted dispensers found in each library. Minimum card purchase is $1.00 for a new card. New cards carry a $.50 fee with the remaining value available to use for copying, printing, or scanning.
- Each Repro Graphics card has a unique number, which is used to list print jobs and can be used to retrieve card value if the card is lost (see below).
UC Davis Departments and commercial vendors
- To obtain a Repro Graphics card using a departmental recharge account, or purchase a Repro Graphics card for vendors, contact Repro Graphics directly (contact information at end of page).
Adding value to Repro Graphics copy/print/scan cards
- Use the card dispensers and insert $1, $5, $10, or $20 bills.
IET Computer Lab Printing (free printing):
UC Davis students cannot use their free printing quota on the library multifunction machines. Students can only use their quota of 60 free prints per quarter in a campus IET Computer Lab. The Lab in Shields Library is located in room 163, at the back of the library. A Kerberos username & ID are required for login, and prints are tracked automatically. See http://clm.ucdavis.edu/rooms/printing/
